    Could be something simple like the light in the boot staying on, or a central locking malfunction. Have you a spare battery? Or try a jump start .
    No spare battery and I would be afraid if the car stopped, it mightn't start again. It would be grand around home but not so much away from home.

    That's a handy distance to go for a ram (I think you based in Kerry?)
    What kinda ram if you don't mind me asking...
    Yeah, in Kerry.

    An Ile de France ram, I want to strengthen to out of season breeding in my ewes. The guy I used buy Belclares from has sold up and I'm struggling to find a strain that will work as well as his rams for me.

    Plus, I'm hoping they will have a smaller mature weight. Some of my ewes would pass for horses even lambing as ewe lambs.

    Had to ring the AI man for a call this morning and I only decided on a rather weird culard bull this morning. Messaged him at 8am to see if he had him and he had only the one straw left so I asked him to keep it for me, please and thank you.


    ''I think he might work better on the cow but sure we'll try you first''

    Ha, he's very easy to get on with and I see enough of him as he only lives 6/7 miles away. Anyone with a sense of humour is a grand person to have around the place :)

    Im really beginning to hate these fecking cyclists, with over 10k cycling the ring of kerry today you could hardly move on the road.
    And the amount of fatsos on bikes is frightening. And the best of gear by um. They mustn't be knocking to much work outta them fancy bikes. The Deli counters will be well empty tis evening in South kerry.



    A lad near me completed the cycle yesterday... A few weeks ago when preparing he went off to Tralee to buy some gear...... He bought the best of shorts... Designer top.... Designer sunglasses..... Shoes were mega money.... Socks of course.... A watch... Gloves of course.... Got himself seriously well kitted out.....

    Came home happy out..... Realised when he came home he forgot something so went back the following day..... To the bike shop... To buy a bike... And wanted the cheapest bike he could get... You couldn't make it up.....

    Grass growth (except the lawn) has fallen off a cliff here. Heavy rain and cool temps are taking a toll. Awfully uneven growth pattern to grass this year so far.

    That's them Base. They must have been tricky in a while. Both my car and jeep give up with contaminated diesel in the same week back in early March. The shop is a loss, was very handy, open till 11pm nightly.

    Our town is getting like a ghost town.
    Nowhere to buy diesel or petrol, nowhere sells clothes, and the bank is gone over a year now.
